Event handling

Handle old Events:
Select one of the three options. 'Delete old Events' will delete all Events after the number of days typed in in the box below. If you select 'Archive old Events' the Events will moved after the typed in days in the Archive. You only have access to the archive if you have choosen this option.
Note that EventList triggers this cleanup action once a day after midnight server time and only if an EventList view got a visit. If you want to make sure that the cleanup happens, create a cronjob pointing to an EventList component view.


Mail handling

Get informed about new submissions by email. Select one of the three options and type in the Email address(es) of the recipient(s) seperated by a comma. Usefull if you have disabled autopublishing.

Image handling:

Max. imagefilesize:
Type in the maximum size in kb for the imagefile.

Max. height of thumbnailimage:
Type in the maximum height of the image. This value is also used on the Frontend.

Max. width of thumbnailimage:
Type in the maximum width of the image. This value is also used on the Frontend.

Enable Thumbnails:
EventList can create thumbnails if the GD library version 2 is installed on your server. If it isn't available this feature will be disabled. In this case the above typed in hight and width values will be used to resize the images if they are larger than these values. Keep in mind that this method results in a much lower quality than using the GD library. Also the filesize of the images aren't reduced.

Attention
If you define an imagewidth of more than the width of 20% of the contentarea you have to modify the eventlist.css accordingly.

Meta options

Edit Keywords:
Select in the box multiple keywords.

Edit Description:
In the textbox you can create your own custom metadescription. Use the suggest button for a hint. The description is created in the Event edit screen and within the Event submission process from the Frontend automatically.
